Well I am sure you all have noticed that I have not written anything here for a while. We have been pretty busy. Yesterday I spend from 8am to 5pm splitting wood at sprint speed all the way. I have been saving my firewood for a day when I could rent a hydraulic splitter and do it all at once. Well I did, a whole 5 cords worth. That wood shed should be completely full when I get it stacked in there (I already had 1 cord stacked in there).
So right now, since we had to take the splitter back to Springfield, we are relaxing in Panera Bread Company using their internet and doing my interneting.
If you all have seen me on Facebook you know I got several deer this deer season. Two were my own and two were given to me. I have finished processing them and the frezer is full. I got an 8 pointer and a yearling buck. I was given a buck (points unknown…they kept the head) and a yearling doe.

Taken with a camera positioned in a tree fork just before dark.
I am officially ready for Winter. This is the first time in my life I have Firewood all split (enough to make it through all winter) and Food stored (Deer, Turkey, Rabbit, Fish, and Squirrel). We have Onions and spinach growing in a winter garden and potatoes waiting just under the surface of the ground for us to pull them out. Tomatoes and peppers have eluded the frosts so we are still getting a few here and there.
Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving. I think there is no other Holiday (Holy Day) that is more important that to show our Creator our gratitude for His provision and steadfast love in spite our failures. Other days are a celebration of an event, Thanksgiving is the event, we show our gratitude for Gods provisions.
Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”;…
Ecclesiastes 12:1
Your wife is just glowing with that new baby! Just wonderful to see.
You deer looks pretty good too! Is that a Ruger .44 Mag carbine?
God bless you all this Thanksgiving.
Nice deer!
Your lovely wife is glowing! Congratulations on the new child.
Re: Your Lincoln quote. What are you trying to say Jeremy?
Yes she is beaming!
As for the Lincoln Quote, will I be on your “dont talk to” list if I told you that Lincoln was actually a tyrant who has been made to be an almost god by both Democrats and Republicans in order to promote their “grow the government” plans? One book that will really open a person’s eyes is the book by Thomas DiLorenzo called “Lincoln Unmasked“. If you dont agree after looking at the source material he sites (much of it Lincoln’s own words) that is okay we can still agree we love Old-Time Music and we love our country.
I love your website I have it saved and I go to it often now!
God Bless
No that is a Marlin 30 Caliber Carbine! Its a “dead on” gun! I use only open sights with this gun because it is so straight shooting.
I know all about Lincolns actual viewpoints of which many are pretty politically incorrect. Your in no danger of getting on any “No talk list”.
Just because we don’t agree on Lincoln does not mean I am not interested in your ideas. I learned long ago to actually enjoy the diversity of opinions and not be threatened by them…unless those opinions threaten to enslave me and steal my hard earned money only to give it to others who will not work. I think we agree on that one!
I have not heard of Marlins 30 cal carbine…hmmmm
any way, Have a good one and keep on keeping on in God’s country.
